Topic of the month – February 2018

Posted on: February 1, 2018

Welcome to the first topic of 2018. We’ve interrupted the normal alphabetical order to bring you a topic of great and timely importance, ‘Asylum Seekers’. The way this country of Australia is currently treating people fleeing from danger is appalling. It is inhumane, injust and quite probably illegal. Every person on this planet is entitled to the chance of a life free of fear. We are all human beings, we are all equal, some of us just happened to have the dumb luck to be born in safe places.

Applauding your active compassion, Judy, thank you for the power of your images.
My heart aches for all those trying to find safety, being met with such aggressive hostility.
And the aggressors, acting out such damage, so disconnected.
All tides turn…
Love is stronger than pain…

Judy – You are one of my very favorite cartoonists. This month’s offerings are as pertinent for us here in the US as they are for those in Australia, and then some! Grateful for your existence on the planet xo
